Thomas Andrews is leading a small tour group, including Rose, Ruth and Cal.
Cal is working the oars of a stationary rowing machine with a well trained
stroke.
CAL
Reminds me of my Harvard days.
T.W. MCCAULEY, the gym instructor, is a bouncy little man in white flannels,
eager to show off his modern equipment, like his present-day counterpart on
an "Abflex" infomercial. He hits a switch and a machine with a saddle on it
starts to undulate. Rose puts her hand on it, curious.
MCCAULEY
The electric horse is very popular. We even have an electric camel.
(to Ruth)
Care to try your hand at the rowing, ma'am?
RUTH
Don't be absurd. I can't think of a skill I should likely need less.
ANDREWS
The next stop on our tour will be bridge. This way, please.
CUT TO:
93 EXT. AFT WELL DECK, B-DECK AND A-DECK - DAY
Jack, walking with determination, is followed closely by Tommy and Fabrizio.
He quickly climbs the steps to B-Deck and steps over the gate separating 3rd
from 2nd class.
TOMMY
She's a goddess amongst mortal men, there's no denyin'. But she's in another
world, Jackie, forget her. She's closed the door.
Jack moves furtively to the wall below the A-Deck promenade, aft.
JACK
It was them, not her.
(glancing around the deck)
Ready... go.
Tommy shakes his head resignedly and puts his hands together, crouching
down. Jack steps into Tommy's hands and gets boosted up to the next deck,
where he scrambles nimbly over the railing, onto the First Class deck.
TOMMY
He's not bein' logical, I tell ya.
FABRIZIO
Amore is'a not logical.
CUT TO:
94 EXT. A-DECK / AFT - DAY
A man is playing with his son, who is spinning a top with a string. The
man's overcoat and hat are sitting on a deck chair nearby. Jack emerges from
behind one of the huge deck cranes and calmly picks up the coat and bowler
hat. He walks away, slipping into the coat, and slicks his hair back with
spit. Then puts the hat on at a jaunty angle. At a distance he could pass
for a gentlemen.
CUT TO:
95 INT. BRIDGE / CHARTROOM - DAY
HAROLD BRIDE, the 21 year old Junior Wireless Operator, hustles in and
skirts around Andrews' tour group to hand a Marconigram to Captain Smith.
BRIDE
Another ice warning, sir. This one from the "Baltic".
SMITH
Thank you, Sparks.
Smith glances at the message then nonchalantly puts it in his pocket. He
nods reassuringly to Rose and the group.
